As Chicago Public Schools relax its mask rules for students and staff, parents have mixed opinions.
Most kids were wearing face coverings as they entered Park Manor Elementary School on Monday, even as Chicago Public Schools relaxed its mask rules for students and staff.
“People are still getting sick, and the summer is coming. The weather is changing, so there’s still a chance that these kids could get sick.” The union safety deal is set to expire in August. The two sides are slated to present their cases to the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board on Wednesday.
CPS announced Friday that masks still must be worn in certain situations, such as when visiting the school nurse; when exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms; and when returning from five days of learning or working from home after contracting COVID-19 or being exposed to it. John Rodriguez drops off his preschool daughter, Saoirse, Monday at Blair Early Childhood Center, run by Chicago Public Schools. He welcomed the end of the mask rule and said he was skeptical masks offered much protection against COVID-19.
